it's over...i can't believe it...7.5 years of my choir life is over.has it really been so long.

After all the sweat, tears, sore throats, backaches, leg pains, mental exhaustion and occasionally blood...it all finished tonight. i don't know whether to be happy or sad. it feels like a part of me is empty now. it's so weird to think that after 7.5 years, i'll never step into a proper choir practice again.

primary school choir: i learnt nothing

Cedar choir: i learnt the importance of technique, knowing my notes and rhythm and dynamics. i turned into a powerful singer but also a robotic one...no emotion whatsoever. also learnt that no matter what: THE SHOW MUST GO ON...

TJChoir: i learnt the importance of heart when you sing. a song is nothing if you don't feel it. the importance of breath and the body and the instrument...and most importantly...a performer is always right on stage and everything will be fine if we just have fun...

i think choir will always be a part of me and i'll always love singing, i have no idea what my life will be like without this constant in it...

to ms tham: you are the most inspirational conductor i have ever had the privelage to sing under or watch. you are a genius and you have taught me so much. thanks for the memories. i'll never forget you...

to my bitch club...you guys were my saviours during all those crappy practices where we were pissed off at everyone but each other. Keng, jon, donna,cheryl and grace...my rocks...couldnt have done it without you...

to P8 my beautiful buddies whom i cannot imagine my life without, you will always be my babes and in my heart...

time to wrap up and move on. A levels beckons...choir will forever be a bittersweet memory...i may even decide to change my decision about never joining choir again. we'll see...7.5 years. wow.
